Why the model tagged it this way: The bill's core provision repeals s. 790.33, which had exclusively reserved firearms and ammunition regulation to the state legislature and barred local governments from enacting their own rules; removing this preemption expands local authority to restrict firearms, which on the topic axis restricts the ability to buy, own, carry or make firearms by allowing more regulation. The conforming amendment deletes references to the repealed preemption statute but does not itself change substantive rights.
